Progress Of the Hollingsworth Trial-A
Gloomy Outlook for the Defendant.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
VINoENNEs, Feb. 10.-The State rested, this
afternoon, in the Hollingsworth embezzlemens
case. Nothing sensational has transpired, and
nothing of that nature is likely to transpiIe I'M
less the defendant is put upon the stand and
that is unlikely. The opinion was freely given,
this evening, by persons competent to judge.
that it is only question of years with Holdings
worth. One gentleman Of position said nothing
but sympathy could possibly save him, and he
didn't think even that would prevail. JUICE
Malott's rulings have been steadily in favor of
the State, and the feeling that conviction awaits
the accused is stronger tonight than ever. The
jury is a remarkably strong one in every respect,
and your correspondent has reasons to believe
that the defense has no other hope than that the
jury may be moved by an appeal to sympathy.

A Fatal Habit Of Speech.

l heard on State street an authentic
story of detective acuteness, says writer
in the Boston Post. Everybody is famil.
lar with the trick that many men have OF
Gaping whatever they hear said, when
they do not dissent, with some favorite
expression. Thus, one man says "pre-
cisely." another "eractly;" and there is
considerable faction for whom the words
''just SOL or ''to be sure" seem to fill
the required need. Not long ago a Bos-
ton man stole large sum of money from
his employers and fed to the West. A
description of him was sent to detectives
and police superintendent generally, and
about a month after his escape a Mime
sofa officer telegraphed that he thought
he had his eye upon the person wanted.
His appearance, however, was very diff
ferent from that described in the circu-
lar. The situation was a pressing one
if the supposed criminal was such 10 fact,
he might at any moment fly to Canada.
On the other hand, to arrest an innocent
person would cause good deal of trouble.
The object was to identify the man if
emergency the Boston detective in
charge of the case examined and cross
examined the thief's employers as to his
peculiarities. They could hit upon moth

inquired, in a moment of inspiration, if

A Hint to SIeepers.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard of snoring savage. In fact if
the wild man of the woods and plains
does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk
of being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp of the snorer would soon adOrn
the belt of his crafty and more silent
sleeping adversary. In the natural state,
then, ''natural selection" weeds out
those who disturb their neighbors by
making night hideous with shores. With
all this. The impure air of our sleeping
rooms induces all manner of catarrhal
affections. The nasal passages are the
first to become affected. Instead Of
warming the inspired air on its way to
the lungs, and removing from it the
dangerous impurities with which 1t IS
loaded, the nose becomes INSTRUCTED. A
part of the air enters and escapes by way
of the mouth The veil of the palate
vibrates between the. two currents-that
through the mouth and the one still
passing through the partially-closed nos
trils-like torn sail in the wind. The
snore, then, means that the sleeper's
mouth is partly open, that his nose is
partially closed, and that his lungs are
in danger from the air not being properly
warmed and purified. From the contln-
nal operation of these cause.-the in
crease of impure air in sleeping rooms
and permitting habitual snorers to escape
killing and scalping-sOme scientist has
predicted that in the future all men
land the woman, too) will snore. 1t goes
along with the decay of the teeth and
